Seattle Sounders FC vs LA Galaxy Match Prediction

By Bharath Ramm R

Seattle Sounders have been on an amazing run of five consecutive MLS victories while their unbeaten run now stretches to eight matches. Even though Seattle are yet to get into the top six of the Western Conference, it may not be long before Brian Schmetzer’s team are back in the hunt for the title. Sigi Schmid takes on his former club looking to stop LA Galaxy’s woeful defensive record of late. Galaxy have been conceding at an average of two goals per game for the last few weeks and this is a major reason behind going with a Seattle Sounders win.

Schmetzer has seen his team fail to keep a clean sheet in the last three games and they are up against a Galaxy outfit that has a potent offence. Even though the last two games between Galaxy and Seattle have been low on goals, this fixture has been quite entertaining for fans in recent years. Primarily due to Galaxy’s poor defensive record, I see value in picking over 2.5 goals in this match.

Seattle Sounders win – 8/13
